ALBAWABA - An online creator discovered the ultimate way to get her daily dosage of caffeine while fasting.

A writer named Chelsea Jacobson, who is 28 years old and lives in New York City, said that she would be able to satisfy her need for caffeine on Yom Kippur, which is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

As she spoke to the camera, she displayed a caffeine suppository and remarked, "You understood me correctly; it's caffeine for your a**hole."

Suppositories are typically supposed to be used for medications that cannot be taken orally; nevertheless, it seems that some people have found a new application for them in light of the fact that religious fasting is taking place.

'So, [Jews] don't eat to show how sorry we are to God, to each other, to ourselves... but some religious people found a convenient loophole; while you can't ingest anything, you can go... backwards,' she explained.

Yom Kippur began at sunset on Friday and ended at nightfall on Saturday. The holiday is centered on atonement and repentance and mainly consists of fasting and prayer.

Jacobson explained that a friend gave her the suppository, and she would be trying out the 'butt caffeine.'.

Viewers, however, were not convinced.

One wrote, 'I like caffeine as much as the next person, but not like this...'

'I'm dedicated to caffeine... but I'm not sure if I am that dedicated,' wrote another.

Not too much longer after that, she produced a follow-up video in which she stated, "If you have never used a suppository before, let me just tell you, your a**hole is much more willing to receive medication than you could have ever, ever imagined in your entire life."

Comments ranged from those who were perplexed to those that were made by medical specialists.

You have now gained an understanding of the reason why other 'things' need to have a flared base in order to avoid trips to the emergency room.

At the end of her video, Jacobson can be heard chuckling and saying, "I can't help but wonder if God, the singularity, whatever is out there, would have just preferred that I have a cup of coffee rather than what just happened."
